C language style guides

I don’t have a particular style that I like, I do have a style that I use, frequently without being aware of it. Often, the style of the surrounding code determines my style. I tend to use as references links returned by Google for “c style guide”. I have found the following useful:

• Style Guide for C Code at python.org
• Apache Developers’ C Language Style Guide
• GNU Coding Standards
• Google C++ Style Guide

I don’t like using hungarian notation for primitive types - I prefer descriptive names and grep, or a good IDE.
